Woman convicted of 2024 second-degree murder of ex-boyfriend in Newmarket

A Toronto woman, McKenzie Gill, has been convicted of second-degree murder after stabbing her estranged boyfriend, Blake Bibby, in Newmarket in 2024. Gill initially claimed she acted in self-defense during a previous incident in 2022 but later admitted to stabbing Bibby in the chest during a volatile relationship marked by domestic violence. Despite claims of abuse, the court found Gill's account inconsistent and lacking in genuine fear. The judge noted Gill lied to emergency services, downplayed the severity of the injury, and showed emotional detachment during the 911 call. Bibby had a history of violent behavior toward women, including his own grandmother, and was under court restrictions due to prior assault charges against Gill.
